Ever wonder how your pets favorite treats are freeze dried?
Let's dive into the magical world of freeze-drying, where treats transform into crunchy, delicious snacks that our pets love!
Step 1: Ice Age Begins First, our favorite ingredients embark on a freezing adventure, becoming as cold as the Arctic! This helps lock in all their natural flavors and nutrients.
Step 2: Enter the Freeze-Drying Wonderland Next, the frozen treats are transported to a special chamber known as the freeze-drying wonderland. Here, a powerful vacuum sucks out all the air, creating an environment where ice turns directly into vapor.
Step 3: The Great Sublimation Dance Inside the wonderland, the treats perform a mesmerizing dance called sublimation. As the temperature slowly rises, the ice within the treats leaps into a vapor, skipping the liquid phase altogether. This keeps the treats crunchy, retaining their original shape and texture.
Step 4: Completing the Transformation The treats dance in the freeze-drying wonderland for about 24 to 48 hours, depending on their size and composition. Once the transformation is complete, they're ready to venture out into the world.
Step 5: Welcoming the Treats Home The now freeze-dried treats emerge from the wonderland, lightweight and packed with flavor. They're ready to be sealed in airtight containers to preserve their freshness and make their way to your pet's treat jar!
And that's how freeze-drying works, turning ordinary treats into extraordinary delights that your pets can enjoy while still benefiting from all the nutrients locked inside!
